I have a separate garage just 20 feet away from the house and possibly want to run a water line underground to get to it. (If I can find the right guy with a bobcat or trencher) Wonder if I can get a guy for 300 bucks or so to do it? Or less? It's a straight shot -- no issues. No trees etc.
Anyway -- my question is I understand getting it below the frost line but what do you do when you actually come UP to the garage (through the slab floor I would imagine right? (Or could there be any way I could avoid that and come up through one of the outside walls? --cinder block to the wall-- sure would make life easier).
But what do you do to protect the pipe as it rises above the frost line? Just insulate the heck out of it or what?
And I guess the way to go is an HDPE (I think) plastic line? 3/4" ? -- thanks again for the help
